This includes developing, maintaining, and enhancing a variety of mortgage models across product sectors (e.g. non-QM, rehab/construction loans, home equity, mortgage servicing rights, residential mortgage-backed securities) providing comprehensive analytics (default, prepay, severity, and transition models) for calculating asset and portfolio level risk and returns.

· Explain the variations in forecast model outputs based on portfolio trends, planned business actions, and model components/assumptions.
· Understand how inputs and outputs are generated and modify inputs and output for what-if scenarios or regression testing of the models.
· Work with and expand the firm's existing proprietary modeling tools.
· Manage various monthly and quarterly reporting and commentary including slide and deck preparation with attention to accuracy and deadlines.
BENEFITS:
· Medical, dental, and vision insurance
